Its interesting that you cant even parse it. Does it still do that?

[kindred breach]

i dont understand

[elder palm]

When you do /papi parse with the element placeholder, does it still return blank?

Hi there I have the following issue. What can I do? https://pastebin.com/6N6yvQjB

Using paper 1.18.1 and newest Papi

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me then the luckperms placeholder.

[turbid tide]

I'm not sure what the problem might be there. Seems like it has something to do with the discordsrv expansion breaking the class loader.

[devout lava]

therefore it was GeyserSkinManager. I disabled it and then DiscordSRV was the failure

[turbid tide]

yeah. I'm not sure what's happening. Do you have the floodgate expansion? Because I've seen similar problems recently and they all were related to either geyser or something related to geyser like floodgate expansion

[devout lava]

yeah I am running floodgate

[turbid tide]

but the PAPI expansion. in your plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions is there a floodgate jar?

[devout lava]

yes it is

[turbid tide]

remove it. see if it still happens

[devout lava]

Unfortunately it is still not working

https://pastebin.com/SpYJWVCP

[turbid tide]

did you restart the server? if not try that please

[devout lava]

yes I did

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi dump please and send that generated link over?

and very strange. the error is a bit different now.

[devout lava]

https://paste.helpch.at/nimenosega

[turbid tide]

my assumption is that geyser might've done some changes lately that messes with PAPI's class loader but I have no clue what it can be.

[devout lava]

I did remove floodgate extension and also floodgate plugin, discordsrv and geyserskinmanager

[turbid tide]

in your plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions

[devout lava]

oh another one I remove it too, my fault

[turbid tide]

remove that and you should probably be able to install discordscrv and geyser skin manager back

[devout lava]

it seems to work fine, thanks for your help!

[turbid tide]

no problem.

[warm sandal]

nvm I found a fix

[tidal mantle]

anyone know how i update my placeholder api plugin? im new to plugins to i have no idea on how to do it.

[warm topaz]

stop server
delete old jar
move new jar to plugins folder
start server

[tidal mantle]

okay thanks

[silent lotus]

Is there a PlaceHolder that indicates if the user is premium?

[turbid tide]

no

[crystal cape]

hello, how can i reset statistic_time_played ?

[turbid tide]

well those statistics are stored by spigot in the world file. so yeah. but you have to manually go thru every player's file and reset them

otherwise you can just delete the stats folder but that would also reset other statistics

[silent lotus]

thx

[twin prawn]

There is no such thing as a “premium” Minecraft, you either have it or you don’t

[turbid tide]

he means online/offline player.

[twin prawn]

Yea, ik.

I was just making a point

[elder palm]

You forgot the 'me' part as stated by the feedback

[austere hawk]

hi guys

i'm trying to use placeholders of plugin picojobs but seems not working

%jobplayer_job% %jobplayer_salary%

[fervent spire]

Do you have PlaceholderAPI installed

[austere hawk]

yes,the last version

[fervent spire]

What does /papi parse me %jobplayer_job% show?

[austere hawk]

says: none

[fervent spire]

What about %jobplayer_salary%

[austere hawk]

0

[fervent spire]

Both those place holders seem to be working, First one returns none, if you don't have a job, and 0 if you don't have a salary

[austere hawk]

ook.. i try something

ok seems working now

thanks bro

i forgotten to reload😅

[fervent spire]

I hope you mean reload a plugin, and not reload the server

[austere hawk]

yes the plugin

i'm using it on featherboard

[jolly lily]

can some one help me find a papi for DeluxeMenus

[turbid tide]

help with?

[jolly lily]

i am watching a vid on how to set up DeluxeMenus and says that you need a papi for it but i can't find a ecloud download

[turbid tide]

ecloud download for what? papi is a plugin

you can download it at: https://placeholderapi.com

[jolly lily]

oh ok so there is no encloud download for DeluxeMenus

[turbid tide]

yeah. there isn't one

[lean magnet]

hi, i'm using placeholderAPi and realscoreboard and i want to show in the scoreboard the number of emerald that the player contain in his inventory, how i can do this ? Sorry if my english is bad i'm french

[brittle mural]

Hi!

why doesn't the text fit with PlaceHolder?
the same text without PlaceHolder fits if you just write it and not refer to PlaceHolder

with PlaceHolder, the text is simply cut off

this is on the client 1.12.2, if you go for example with 1.16.5, then there is no problem

https://ibb.co/3WH301r

[balmy marten]

Believe there's a limit on how many letters the scoreboard can show, it varies between client versions, nothing to do with PlaceholderAPI though.

[brittle mural]

if I enter the contents of the PlaceHolder, then everything fits, and if the PlaceHolder itself is cut off

[balmy marten]

formatting characters are counted in the limit

Suggest limiting the line on the text by shortening UserGroup to Group, should give you a few more characters to play with

[brittle mural]

but very short placeholder also cut off

[balmy marten]

You can test placeholders using the /papi parse me %placeholder here% to see if its cut off there

[gleaming seal]

hi im using papi and scoreboard-revision and I want to show in the scoreboard how much money the players has but when somoanes passes 10M it starts to bug out

[mint fable]

Would you want to shorten it to suffix numbers?

Ex: 10k 5m 3.892b

[turbid tide]

nah. it displays them using the e# format

10 mill is 1e7

bz its 1 * 10^7

[mint fable]

wot

[turbid tide]

it basically shows the money as 1e7

[mint fable]

essentials does that?

[turbid tide]

instead of 10 mill

idk what expansion they use

but they opened an issue on papi repo

saying the same thing

[mint fable]

err, vault, but

hmm

@gleaming seal what expansion?

[turbid tide]

there's images. if you want I can link

but yeah. doesn't mention the expansion

[mint fable]

nah I know scientific notation dw

Possible Solution Found:

The plugin (or program) you are trying to use was compiled using a newer Java version than the one you using.
To find what version you need, start from 52 which is Java 8 and for example, 60 is Java 16. (8 + 8 = 16 => 52 + 8 = 60)

so

var nick = "%essentials_nickname%" nick.startsWith("&") ? "&"+nick[1] : ""

this is jscript

to get the color in the name

is it correct

?

anyway

i fix it

[vale island]

This is probably a stupid question but testing on 1.18 none of the papi ecloud placeholders seems to work, what do I need to do to get them to work after updating?

[warm topaz]

have u updated papi to 2.11.1 and downloaded the specific expansions for the placeholders?

[vale island]

Yea I have updated 2.11.1, do I need to redownload all the expansions I was using on 1.17?

[warm topaz]

possibly, check if u have the expansions in /papi list, if not, then download them again

[vale island]

ah figured it out! the quests expansion was causing an error that prevented them all from loading

[ruby lynx]

Help me, error: https://paste.helpch.at/zasixudufi.sql

[vivid sparrow]

Can you try to redownload the luckperms expansion?

[chrome rapids]

Has the %canseeonline% placeholder been changed for 1.18?

[junior musk]

that's a TAB only placeholder, not a PAPI placeholder, and it's now just %online%

I don't see how this is related to papi. Any errors or logs?

No errors or anything else I noticed when I threw down the PlaceholderAPI and was then able to join the server

and on spigot is your Discord for questions:

@thorn thunder

[primal matrix]

Hey. I want to use [server_name] placeholder in one of the plugins but when I change server name in papi config it changes back to 'A minecraft server' after I reload.. What is the correct way of doing this?

[fringe sundial]

@thorn thunder

[lethal basin]

cant you just manually write server name instead of using placeholder?

anyway you can change server name in server.properties

[primal matrix]

It is used for global chat in proxy network

So I can see what server is someone typing from

[lethal basin]

makes sense , server.properties should help

[primal matrix]

I changed under server name should I change to motd aswell?

[lethal basin]

I dont think u need to change motd

also dont forget to restart server after making changes in server.properties

[austere hawk]

What's the math expansion version that works on 1.8?

[turbid tide]

well the latest one works on 1.8. you need java 11 tho

if you mean one that works on java 8 then you can try 1.0.6

[austere hawk]

Cool ty

[turbid tide]

actually

[austere hawk]

Hm

[turbid tide]

1 sec

[austere hawk]

Not for me btw, giving support to some other bedwars server and... you know bedwars xD

[turbid tide]

yeah. well didn't paper lift the limitations on the java version? they could use java 11 instead. that way they get a lot more plugins to work easily

ok. try either 1.0.6 or 1.0.7

[austere hawk]

Right that works ty

Do you know how they can round up stuff? math_0:1_ doesn't seem to parse

[turbid tide]

yeah

you have to add [precision:0]

so for example

%math_[precision:0]2+2%

[austere hawk]

Sick, ty

[turbid tide]

Hello. If you have not figured this out yet, %server_name% doesn't actually take the info from server.proprieties. Instead there's a config option in plugins/PlaceholderAPI/config.yml that you can change

[primal matrix]

Hey! I changed there, but the problem is it resets back when I start server

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.7

[primal matrix]

Wops

[turbid tide]

in the config file? it resets?

[primal matrix]

I can try again if I did something wrong, but when I change in papi's config to lets say &7&lHub it changes back to A minecraft server or what is it

[turbid tide]

you need to make sure you've added quotes at the start and end

server_name: "&7&lHub"

[primal matrix]

Maybe that was the problem

Let me try

Works now

The thing is, it was without quotes in start so I just changed it

Thank you 🙂

sorry , my bad

I need a bit of help
I used this script: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#number-suffix

[turbid tide]

that's all the Number type can take in javascript

9007199254740991

[elder stump]

nvm, I fixed it

[turbid tide]

hmm

yeah now looking at it, it should just go as high as you have suffixes

[elder stump]

Number type takes in 1.7976931348623157E308

[turbid tide]

hmm. I just googled it. didnt know the actual max value. google gives me that value so I just assumed it is right

[elder stump]

I ran a javascript test with NUMBER.MAX_VALUE

It was vault's placeholder that didn't wanna work with it

instead of %vault_eco_balance_fixed% -> %vault_eco_balance%

[rugged fractal]

hey is there a way to like pay people with a placeholder like /eco give %PlayTimes_topname1% 1000 you get what i mean

[teal spire]

If the plugin supports it, yes, if no, use a playtime plugin.

[leaden holly]

Can you put placeholders inside of placeholders?

[fervent spire]

Depends on the placeholders

[leaden holly]

Ok, I figured it out, but for some reason this is giving me a bug.

%changeoutput_equals_{objective_score_{Scores}{Team_1}}1&f☻&bBlue Bats = {objective_score{Tab}{Team_1}}%

It is just saying 1, can someone help me fix this?

%changeoutput_equals_{objective_score_{Scores}_{Team_1}}_1_&f☻&bBlue Bats = {objective_score_{Tab}_{Team_1}}_%\

[turbid tide]

ugh. idk if the {} inside {} works. That's probably why it breaks.

[vivid sparrow]

It doesnt, because it gets closed at the first } I assume

[turbid tide]

yeah. bz regex

bcz*

[vivid sparrow]

Could probably fix that if it is not done with regex

[turbid tide]

man I paid too much for this keyboard and its broken within the first 2 months

[vivid sparrow]

The amount of } should be equal with the amount of {

so it shouldnt break at {a{b}c}

[lone briar]

Trying to have a passive/hostile mob placeholder, but couldnt find 1. So I decided to just add all the mobs with math placeholder. However I want to put the passive placeholder into another placeholder for color purposes. Is there any work around since a placeholder in a placeholder in a placeholder doesnt work?

[turbid tide]

use the javascript expansion instead of the math one

that way you can just have something like %javascript_passive_mobs%

so you can use it inside another placeholder

[lone briar]

thanks I will try that

is it where we put the quantity? (because it displays ✓) for only 1 item in the inventory instead of 64

@turbid tide

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.7

[austere hawk]

sorry

and for the money ( vault ) ?

[turbid tide]

well. that's a bit more complex. idk if it can be done with the changeoutput expansion.

probably will have to learn how to use the javascript expansion

[austere hawk]

ok thank you and finally to finish you know why it doesn't work? % checkitem_amount_enchantment% (to see the player's level number)

well. bcz the amount will return amount of items, and enchantment needs parameters like the enchantment and level optionall

I Dont think you can check an enchantment level on an item with checkitem

[trim mist]

The vault top placeholders have been deprecated for removal due to the poor implementation they had. If you use Essentials, there's a beta expansion pinned in one of the channels here that should have baltop placeholders that utilize Essentials new baltop API that should prevent performance issues.

[austere hawk]

Oh yea!!! I had the same problem and tysm for reminding me!!! 🙂

Do I need to uninstall that essentials extention from /papi ecloud download essentials??

[trim mist]

I believe so, yes.

[austere hawk]

do I need to restart the server or just /papi reload??

[trim mist]

It wouldn't hurt to do a full server restart.

[austere hawk]

meh, worked with just /papi reload

tysm!!!

[drifting dragon]

hi

i want to Hide /papi command for my players
what can i do ?

[turbid tide]

you'll have to use a plugin like PluginHider+

[austere hawk]

can anyone help me in that case that i have %clans_name% and how to do that in essentials or how to enable it to work in the chat

[uncut trench]

i need help

[tender vapor]

There is no time to wait! Ask your question @uncut trench!

[uncut trench]

i added %statistic_player_kills%

but name working 1st 2nd but kill count not showing like 0

/papi parse me %statistic_player_kills%

thats giveing me 0

how to fix this

[turbid tide]

go to your spigot.yml file and make sure this is disabled

stats:
  disable-saving: false```

[turbid tide]

essentials doesn't support PAPI my friend. there is a plugin that adds support tho and its called ChatInjector

[uncut trench]

yeh this is false

but not working

[astral stump]

Hi team, ^^^^ this is still an issue, its the only placeholder that requires me to manually register every restart...

We do not maintain that expansion. Reach out to this author and tell him to enable persisting on the expansion. https://github.com/pixar02/Expansions

/papi ecloud download ….

[jolly helm]

Thanks dude !

Then do

/papi reload

[jolly helm]

don't work, it's write : "unknow command .... /help ... "
And PlaceHolderApi don't turn on ( sorry for my english i'm french )

[shadow garnet]

Have u even got the plugin installed?

Upload plugin file

Make sure it is up to date

Then restart the server

Make sure file is in a plugins folder

After restart

Log on

And do the commands

[jolly helm]

Yes i do it

[shadow garnet]

So papi is installed?

Like it is an option in commands

[shadow garnet]

So in the panel

How many blocks they can claim

As a part of GriefPrevention

there is a papi ecloud for GriefPrevention

I'd like to make it so the placeholder %essentials_afk% returns "(A)" if true, and " " if false. I have downloaded the Essentials expansion using the ecloud. I have added the following into my config file:

  essentials:
    afk:
      'false': ''
      'true': '&8&l(&7A&8&l)'

but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? The plugin always uses the "boolean" values.

Hey there! Is it possible with the math expansion to minus percentages?

Like 100 - 5%

[austere hawk]

I’m guessing you’re looking for 95 as the result?

[warm plover]

Yes but I can't just minus 5

[mint fable]

just 100 - (100*.05)

[warm plover]

Thanks!

[vale spire]

Hey! How can I make a 15 day countdown that when it reaches 0 goes back to 15 days?

[mint fable]

what is it a countdown to/for?

[vale spire]

My nether resets every 15 days

[mint fable]

Automatically or manually?

because it might need to be a manual thing

[vale spire]

I have set a cron job in pterodactyl to make it automatic

[austere hawk]

Some countdown expansion would be cool tbh

[mint fable]

where is the placeholder used

could you do the same thing with that?

[vale spire]

In a hologram

[mint fable]

ah...

[vale spire]

Holographic displays

[mint fable]

You can run a command right?

if so, you can probably edit the hologram from the console

and set the new countdown

[vale spire]

yeah i know about that but I could only set it to a certain date

[mint fable]

because you gotta use %server_countdown_<SimpleDateFormat>_<time>%

and change the date every 15 days

[vale spire]

I would need to change it

Yeah

[mint fable]

hmm

what can you automate?

[vale spire]

I guess I could install skript and make it change the hologram placeholder every 15 days

[mint fable]

can't use this?

[vale spire]

I mean wait 15 days then change it to a 15 day countdown

[vale spire]

I could only set it to a certain date

I would not be fully automatic

[mint fable]

well we gotta figure out a way to calculate 15 days from when the cron job runs

should be fairly easy

maybe

[austere hawk]

I know a hacky way to do it

[mint fable]

cooldowns is what we need, not quite a countdown

[austere hawk]

Luckperms permissions?

You can basically use set temp then access that in a placeholder

[mint fable]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#cooldown

[austere hawk]

Once your cron runs, you re-set the permission for 15d

[mint fable]

If you create a cooldown with 15 days on it, just reset the cooldown when it's done

[mint fable]

you'd have to set the perm for everybody

i like the idea though

[austere hawk]

Oh you could just set it for yourself then parseother no?

[mint fable]

wouldn't work if you go offline

[austere hawk]

Fair enough. Again it’s a pretty damn hacky way so yeah lol

[mint fable]

permission placeholders never will work for offline players because every time the placeholder would be called the database would have to be accessed since it only caches online players

ye, it's quite a hacky thing we're doing here

cooldown should hopefully work though

[austere hawk]

That makes sense yeah

You could probably set temp the permission for the default group then?

[mint fable]

ooh true

prob would work

[austere hawk]

I know for sure there’s a placeholder for the countdowns since I use it

[mint fable]

nice way to do a cooldown/countdown

[vale spire]

Pretty smart

I am going to do that then

[warm plover]

Not sure if I did it wrong but I did %math_250-(250*.{mycommand_playerdata_ShopDiscount})% (the variable is 05) and it gives the wrong amount it seems like. I was hoping it would show 237.5

[untold topaz]

Try (250*({papi}/100))

[mint fable]

are you sure it did .05 and not .5 @warm plover ? What amount does it give?

All I see is what you hoped to see 😄

{mycommand_playerdata_ShopDiscount}/100 would be better than a .

[warm plover]

I’ll try it tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure it was .05

[untold topaz]

What was the resulting number it was giving you

From after the math calculations

[restive urchin]

https://paste.helpch.at/jonujamaqe.sql help pls papi suddenly started giving this error and it affects the server, I suspect

[tender vapor]

Possible Solution Found:

The plugin (or program) you are trying to use was compiled using a newer Java version than the one you using.
To find what version you need, start from 52 which is Java 8 and for example, 60 is Java 16. (8 + 8 = 16 => 52 + 8 = 60)

Barry's solution finder is still in BETA and will make mistakes.

[restive urchin]

help pls papi suddenly started giving this error and it affects the server, I suspect

[magic rock]

wdym by it affects the server

its compiled in Java 15 (15/newer needed) and you have Java 8

which means

try to

update JS expanison/PAPI
if no work then you need to use older version

[restive urchin]

when players tp to another worlds they kicked in lobby

https://imgur.com/a/i1MRxxv

[magic rock]

that shouldnt be the issuepˇ

[warm plover]

%math_250-(250*{mycommand_playerdata_ShopDiscount}/100)% works, and for some reason mycommand doesn't support 05 so that was the issue :/

But yeah it works the other way

[wary radish]

hi, I was searching which is the placeholder that allows me to see players health via numbers, like 20 for full health

I didn't saw them in the placeholder list, are you sure that they work?

and also, is it correct writing them %player_expansion% and %math_expansion%

I tried %player_expansion% but it shows me 0

[magic rock]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders

Player is expansion

[wary radish]

?

what do you mean?

what should I write in the code?

because I need to show the health of all the players in the tablist

I found the solution

I used %player_health_rounded%

[lavish sail]

where can i see all version for javascript-expansion? my server runs java 8 and therefore cant use latest expansion

without %%

%luckperms_group_expiry_time_{luckperms_primary_group_name}%

[north wadi]

now work return empty !

don't appear nothing!

it should return the time or if its permanent maybe should say permanent, right?

https://prnt.sc/260a5k4

[vivid sparrow]

parse the expiry_time placeholder with a group you have

[north wadi]

Okey, like this?

%luckperms_group_expiry_time_admin%

¿?

[vivid sparrow]

yeah

[north wadi]

same

https://prnt.sc/260aonv

return empty

[vivid sparrow]

then you probably have to use javascript or something to display "permanent" when it is empty

F ... 😢

don't know how to do that

maybe could you do that for me?

[vivid sparrow]

function checkExpiryTime() {
  val expiryTime = "%luckperms_group_expiry_time_{luckperms_primary_group_name%}"

I think there is an error on the script: __https://prnt.sc/260ceqy__

In console appear this:

        <eval>:2:8 Expected ; but found expiryTime
    val expiryTime = ""
        ^ in <eval> at line number 2 at column number 8

any idea?

issue on my side?

[vivid sparrow]

ah, change it to var instead of val

[north wadi]

Okey

[north wadi]

Okey now work, but the placeholder in the menu appear empty still

in the menu i need to use %luckperms_group_expiry_time_{luckperms_primary_group_name}%

right?

[leaden kraken]

You use %javascript_permanent%

@north wadi

[north wadi]

Okey, but now, the temp ranks also return Permanent

how can fix?

For example i just give me VIP rank for 30 days and i see Permanent

This time i set Admin Rank for 1 day and also see Permanent __https://prnt.sc/260ji9h__

[simple nova]

is there a way to make a counting placeholder

for example

i have NPCs for event

finish npc, and i want to execute command like /add %player_nam% 1

for example

to a placeholder

to make a statistic(holograms) most won events

i think it can with javascript

api

[warm topaz]

what statistic specifically?

[simple nova]

hologram statistics

for example

Most Even Won
-#1 player1
-#2 player2
-#3 player3

etc.

so i need to make an placeholder that add value to it

with command

just that

eg %javascript_eventwon%

output 1

just example

the command execute and just add +1 to the current number of a player data

thats it

so basicaly i need a javascript script that

• execute custom command that add 1 to player data
• shows the data of player via placeholder

[warm topaz]

yea i get that part but what event is this for specifically

u will find that a lot of stuff already has placeholders made for it

and while making a counter with js is possible, im unsure as to whether its possible to make that data persistent

[turbid tide]

are you using some sort of modded server? or what server software are you running?

[dusty grove]

yea its from a pixelmon server

[vivid sparrow]

Is it only me or that error is pretty common these days? @turbid tide

[turbid tide]

yeah. bcz they use plugins and server jars that mess with the class loader. It happens for expansions that instead of a hardcoded string use getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion()

@dusty grove I'm afraid PAPI does not support any modded server software at the moment. There's 2 options really. Either use a server software like Paper or not use those expansions at all.

[vivid sparrow]

I see

[warm topaz]

or modify the expansion urself! essentials expansion is os

FAQ Answer:

DeluxeTags showing in essentials chat:

1. Stop the server.
2. Turn off the DeluxeChat option in the DeluxeTags config.
3. Turn off the format_chat option in the DeluxeTags config.
4. Put {deluxetags_tag} in your essentialschat chat format.
5. Replace all the placeholders in the DeluxeTags config
   %placeholder% to {placeholder} (Ex: %deluxetags_tag% to {deluxetags_tag}).
6. Start the server.

[cinder reef]

there is no deluxechat option in the deluxetags config

just papi_chat

[mint fable]

are you on the pinned version in #general-plugins ?

[cinder reef]

i downloaded the latest dev version yes

but not from the #general-plugins

DeluxeTags-1.8.2-DEV-18 is the name if the file

[mint fable]

oh

where did you get that?

[mint fable]

ah, didn't know we had those

[cinder reef]

is this the same?

[mint fable]

try turn off papi_chat then?

see if that works

[cinder reef]

let me change the config like mentioned in 5. and then i try

[mint fable]

make sure to also stop the server

just in case, not sure if the dev build changes that or not

once the full version is released I'll get informed, but till then 🤷‍♂️

[cinder reef]

that worked

didn't changed the placeholders tho and still looks right (for now at least)

[mint fable]

ya you don't have to change them anymore with dev builds

one thing I do know

[astral python]

good evening and what it would be possible to help me I have some problems with my APIs

[coarse sable]

Javascript expansion does not work on java 17.

When trying to parse a javascript placeholder it just throws an error about not being able to initialize something from the nashorn classes

[terse cosmos]

anyone know if the mvdw expansion works? having trouble using mvdw placeholders with deluxechat, using format %mvdw_<PLACEHOLDER_HERE>%

[austere hawk]

yeah just update to the latest version from the ecloud

[coarse sable]

Thanks!

That didn't seem to work.

Enabling use_quick_js solved the problem.

I'm getting this error about the javascript expansion when attempting to do /papi reload in paper 1.18.1 #134, papi build #148, and javascript expansion 2.1.0 (latest from ecloud). I've tried with quick js turned off and turned on with both throwing errors. Was working fine before updating to java 17 https://paste.helpch.at/raw/dexamitufe

[austere hawk]

hi guys

i have a weird problem with bungee expansion

https://imgur.com/a/gL5iTRM

it doesn't update corectly, i have 60 players in proxy but the placeholder display just 8

(not using multi proxy system, just 1 velocity instance)

the weird part is that the problem is happening just on main lobbies

i tried on other 1.8.8 server, same papi version and same bungee expansion version

and on that server there's no problem

[austere hawk]

it seems it's updating just on server start

[lone briar]

My placeholders dont get loaded on startup, after I do /papi reload when I join they all work

[haughty geode]

%%vault_prefix%%player_name%%

this shows up instead of player usenames when I use a command for playerlist

[turbid tide]

send a startup log please.

[turbid tide]

download the expansions. /papi ecloud download vault /papi ecloud download player then /papi reload

[haughty geode]

thanks it worked

A member of staff has requested I move your pastebin.com paste to our paste.helpch.at!

Why? - Some other paste services don't have a dark variant and we're all nocturnal.

[lone briar]

The weird thing is, its not consistent. Sometimes I restart and its fine

[turbid tide]

I believe the problem is one of your external expansions. you can go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions and remove them 1 by 1 until it stops happening. that way you've found which one is at fault

[lone briar]

I tried doing that, but since it sometimes works but other times it doesnt I dont know how to check what expansion it is

When I reload it, it does tell me 2 of them are not up to date. any way to check which 2 those are?

[lone briar]

I removed them all and added them 1 by 1 with a restart in between and its gone for now, but will prob come back

Hi, I'm searching a placeholder to get the total playe time of a user without an extra plugin. I guess its %player_time% what looks like the total time playrd in ticks, but I'm not totally sure

[turbid tide]

use the statistic expansion

[timid trout]

%statistic_days_played% to i have to add the username or how can I figure it out

[turbid tide]

ugh. it gets the data for the user you parse the placeholder for

[timid trout]

Like %player_time%/1728000 would be equivalent to %statistic_days_played% just that I understand the value of %player_time%

A okay I guess %player_time% are the ticks since first join, but not sure

hi, someone can help me?

i'm trying to use "papi" with some expansion, but its not working, and don't know why, like, just tell me if i'm wrong
1 - download the extension, 2 - move to "plugins\placeholder\extensions" and in-game use /papi reload
that's its, isn't?
i'm trying to use the extension "Player" but its not working, when i use /papi reload, show "0 placeholder hooks successfully registered"

someone can help me?

sorry for my english, i don't speak very well...

[sinful urchin]

someone? ;-;

[turbid tide]

all you have to do is /papi ecloud download player then /papi reload

Anyone know how to fix this error?

[turbid tide]

Would this be an okay spot to receive support for PlaceholderAPI use in conjunction with Holographic Displays?

[turbid tide]

HD doesn;t support PAPI. if you want placeholders to work download HolographicExtension or HolographicPlaceholders as well

Which placeholder isn’t working? Do you have any startup errors coming from papi?

Did you update papi? Did you update the ecloud expansions

hi some help i have this problem with towny placeholders

https://paste.helpch.at/ucozuxowiw.php

[vital python]

weirdly enough though, after I added the HolographicExtension it worked, despite the newest version having papi support

[austere hawk]

I'd recommend using DecentHolograms instead

HolographicExtension takes a massive shit on performance lol

[turbid tide]

it seems like the expansion can't find a class from the towny plugin. you sure that you have Towny installed and also the correct towny version for the expansion?

bcz looking at the latest version of the Towny plugin, the class was either removed or moved.

ah. the towny expansion hasn't been updated in over 3 years. that might be why

[turbid tide]

oh and the expansion was moved inside the plugin. so if you're on the latest versions of Towny go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions and remove the Towny-Expansion jar from there then do /papi reload.

[lapis tide]

Can anyone help me with an currency issue? I want my currancy to display with XX,XX but its currently displaying as XX,XX. I there a fix for this? I use the vault plugin to get the balance from essentialsX. The essentials /balance is displaying correctly but the placeholder isnt.

/papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_formatted% is displaying it as XX,X

[turbid tide]

what's the difference?

[lapis tide]

oh my bad

its currently displaying as XX,X

[turbid tide]

so you want more decimals?

[lapis tide]

yes, I want 2 decimals instead of 1

[turbid tide]

ok. so looking at the code you could possibly use %vault_eco_balance_2dp%

idk if this will work with the comma placeholder tho

[lapis tide]

/papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_2dp% isnt working tho 😦

[turbid tide]

does it return anything at all?

[lapis tide]

it just returns %vault_eco_balance_2dp%

[turbid tide]

yes I saw. no need to send again

[lapis tide]

oh my bad

[turbid tide]

idk. I've tested myself to see and yeah. probably not possible then

[lapis tide]

hmm, that sucks... are there any other placeholders to get the balance from essentials?

[turbid tide]

don't think there are. you could possibly use the javascript expansion if you know any javascript to make your own format. but that's about it

ah. I've found the problem.

[lapis tide]

oh dang

[lapis tide]

oh! 🙂 whats the issue?

[turbid tide]

the regex pattern it uses to find the decimal points

can you test a build?

[lapis tide]

Yes I can

[turbid tide]

go to plugins/PLaceholderAPI/expansions delete the current vault expansion from there, put this one in and do a /papi reload

[lapis tide]

okay

Thank you so much ❤️

[turbid tide]

does it work?

[lapis tide]

yess

[turbid tide]

ok. will push an update to ecloud then

[lapis tide]

altho

it does sdisplay the € infront of it

not sure if thats useful for everyone

[turbid tide]

I don't think that's from Vault expansion tho.

/papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_2dp% returns €3.24?

[lapis tide]

/papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_2dp% doesnt work, /papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_formatted% returns €XX,XX

[turbid tide]

oh. wait. you were testing that not %vault_eco_balance_2dp%?

[lapis tide]

before it just returned XX.XX

I tested both, but any the formatted works
